A Study On Hollow block Concrete Brick

Abstract

Economy and stability are the prime requisites of any structure. Best designer is one who comes out with a design which gives the stable and economic structure. ‖Hollow Block Concrete Brick‖ have become a regular or frequent choice today in construction activities as these blocks offer various benefits, simplicities in their use as building elements, strength comparable with the conventional blocks like bricks, facilities to get reinforced thereby increasing the strength of constructed units, facility for better finish, adoptability for getting desired architectural shapes and beauty and above all rendering economy in construction. The strength of hollow concrete block masonry wall is grater than brick masonry wall but cost of construction of former wall is very less. With these aspect under study the authors concentrated upon some case studies indicating the uses of Hollow block concrete brick in the construction of beam, walls etc. Hollow block concrete brick masonry is carried out and a comparative study is executed with respect to brick masonry construction and strength parameter, economy, light weight character and insulation property are studied and compared, to study the outcomes of these studies and have, then based on the investigations of these case studies reviewed the various aspect related to the uses of Hollow block concrete brick. The paper briefly reviews all the above points referred
